Hagen, Lynn - Knox [Zeus's Pack 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting ManLove) (11 page)

Sully snorted and looked at Knox like he was crazy. “I don’t give a rat’s ass if Trevor is a vampire. He’s your mate. That’s all that matters to me.” He took a sip of his drink.

“Thanks.” No soldier openly opposed Trevor being there, but Knox was on the defensive, waiting for one of them to say something smart so he could slam them on their head.

Sully waved away his appreciation. “You found your mate, or should I say mates.” He chuckled. “That’s all that counts.”

Knox leaned his elbows on the bar and slowly turned the tumbler around, thinking just how right Sully was. Instead of bitching and moaning about what Trevor was, he should be grateful. Some shifters went their whole lives without finding theirs, and to find two? He was damn lucky.

Now if he could only stop the demons that haunted him even in his sleep.

“Hey, fellas.” Toby and Jasper wandered over and took a seat.

Knox rolled his eyes. All he needed right now were the Alpha’s mates here bugging him. “I see Zeus opened the cage door.”

“Yeah, that’s how you got out.” Jasper flipped him off and ordered two Coronas. He slid one to Toby and kissed his mate. “Do you guys want to shoot pool or are you just running up your tab?” Jasper looked over at them.

“I’ll play you, smart mouth.” Sully laughed. “It’s the only time I will be able to kick your ass without Zeus trying to relocate my organs.”

“Don’t encourage him, Sully,” Knox warned.

“Encourage him to do what?” Craig asked.

Great, now Avanti’s mates wanted to torture him as well. “To think.”

Craig chuckled as he ordered him and Jesse a Michelob. Knox wondered where the hell their mates were and why they were bugging him at Theo’s.

“Gonna kick Jasper’s ass at pool. Wanna watch him cry like a girl?” Sully teased as he grabbed his drink and headed over to the pool table.

“I’ll cry like a girl when you tell everyone you’re leaving,” Jasper shot back. “Now act like an adult and play nice or I’m going to stick you in that corner over there for time out. I’ve done it before to grown men, and I’ll do it again.”

“If I lose, I’ll stand in the corner for twenty minutes, queeny,” Sully challenged.

“The last person to call me queeny got…well, nothing, but don’t call me that, damn it.”

“Yeah, don’t call him that or I’ll…make you a bad sandwich the next time you come into Harold’s,” Toby threatened.

“Don’t hurt yourself, babe.” Jasper kissed Toby and set the table up.

“This oughta be good.” Jesse laughed.

Knox leaned against the wall. This should be good. Jasper ran around the house with Toby in tow acting queeny—to use Sully’s word—so this should knock him down a peg. Not that he had anything against the way Jasper acted. It would just be fun to see him get his ass kicked. Sully would own bragging rights.

“Nine ball, baby, and I’m not talking about what swings between your legs.” Jasper pulled his arm back and broke, the crackling of the balls sounding loud in the tavern.

Jasper and Sully played hard, each tearing the table up when it was their turn. Sully knocked his forehead into the wall when Jasper sunk the nine ball. “Fuck.”

“You might as well stay where you are for nineteen more minutes, bud.”

Jesse, Craig, and Toby laughed hysterically as Sully flipped Jasper off and turned to the corner.

“Thought I was a pussy, didn’t you?” Jasper snickered at Sully. “Not even close, never saw one, never will.”

Jasper, Toby, Craig, and Jesse all gave each other a high five and then took a seat at a booth, taunting Sully the whole time he stood there.

“You’re just mean.” Knox laughed as he ordered another drink. “You really gonna let him suffer like that?”

“He would if roles were reversed.” Jasper shrugged and drank his beer. “Fuck, I remember the house I used to live in was a dry zone from a mate being an alcoholic. Feels good to have a drink again. Not that I minded giving it up for him.”

“You miss them?” Toby asked.

“Sometimes, but I have you, baby, and my big, bad Alpha. I wouldn’t trade either of you for the world,” Jasper said.

Knox thought of his mates and wanted to get home. He missed them now that he saw the other mates laughing and talking, kissing and cuddling.

He bid his farewell and slapped Sully on his shoulder. “Guess you know now, don’t you.”

“Fuck off,” Sully grumbled as he shoved his hands in his front pockets.

Knox left Theo’s feeling a whole lot better. He was looking forward to crawling back into bed with his mates, if they were still sleeping. If not, he’d join in the fun. With a lighter feeling in his heart, Knox made his way back around to his truck.

Not even the thought of Jackson could rob him of the new feeling swirling around inside of him when he thought of those two men in his bed. He wasn’t sure what love felt like, having been so long since he even experienced it as a child, but Knox hoped what he was feeling right now was close to it.

He smiled to himself, and he even felt like humming. How corny was that? Knox held the grin all the way around the corner until he got to his truck.

His truck that had four slashed tires.

Chapter Seven

Sammy giggled as Trevor pulled him close, kissing him down his neck. The sound was music to his ears. He wiggled his fingers over Sammy’s midsection, wanting to hear that sound again.

Sammy rolled over with peals of laughter as Trevor tickled his sides. He chuckled when his mate began to snort. “Uncle,” Sammy cried.

Trevor relented and began to run his fingers over Sammy’s hardened shaft instead. His mate moaned, grinding his cock into Trevor’s hand.

“Hmm, someone sounds like they want something from me,” Trevor teased.

“Don’t play coy, fuck me.”

Trevor was shocked to hear such wanton words from Sammy, but they turned him on. He slid his hand under the pillow and grabbed the lube. Trevor turned his little mate over and squeezed slick down the crack of his ass. Damn if that little pink hole wasn’t smiling at him. Trevor caressed his fingers over Sammy’s puckered muscle, stretching him so he could fill him.

He lined his cock up and pressed in, shivering at the tight grip. Trevor reached his hand up and ran his fingers through Sammy’s hair, gripping it tightly as he inched in even further. Sweat dripped down the side of Trevor’s face as he pulled back and then plunged in.

Sammy pulled his legs further under him, his hands fisting the sheets as Trevor fucked his sweet hole. His gums itched to sink them into soft flesh. He knew Sammy would let him, so Trevor bent over his mate’s body, sinking them deep as he drank and fucked.

“Oh god,” Sammy cried out, pushing his ass into Trevor’s pelvis. “Fuck me, now.”

Trevor made an animalistic sound as he thrust deeper and harder into Sammy’s ass, chasing that high that only an orgasm could give. He reached under Sammy, palming his cock and jerking it with his strokes.

When he released Sammy’s shoulder, his mate cried out, seed hitting the sheets and his hand. The tight muscle clamped down on Trevor’s cock, sending him spiraling over the edge and achieving that adrenaline high.

“Hell,” Sammy panted under him as Trevor kissed him down his spine.

“You liked?” Trevor asked before trailing his tongue back up his mate’s spine.

“Me liked. I really, really liked,” Sammy said into the pillow. Trevor chuckled into his back, kissing his way back down his spine. He couldn’t seem to get enough of his salty and sweet skin. Trevor ran the tips of his fangs over his mate’s spine and then licked back down.

“I think you’re trying to drain my body fluids through my cock.” Sammy giggled.

Trevor kissed his back and then rolled to his side. “That would be interesting, now wouldn’t it?” He wiggled his brows.

Sammy grinned. “For you maybe. I’d be laying here looking like a prune, my balls the size of peas.”

Trevor pulled Sammy into his arms, tucking the man’s head under his chin. “We wouldn’t want that. They taste too good to go to waste.” Sammy sighed in contentment and was soon back to sleep. Trevor closed his eyes, thankful for not draining him the night they met.

Zeus sat behind his desk listening to Knox and Sully. Had they lost their damn minds? “So let me get this straight. You want to dress Sully up as Trevor and use him for bait? Even in the dead of night, with no moonlight, and reading glasses on, he wouldn’t pass for Trevor.”

“With a wig and other changes, it could work. All we need is for them to
think
he’s Trevor. Draw them out.” Knox sat forward, arguing his point. “Just a hint of it and we’ve got them.”

Zeus stared over at Sully. “How much is he paying you for this, or is he blackmailing you?”

“He’s my friend, and I’m sure he’d do it for me,” Sully defended.

Zeus snorted. “I’d go above and beyond for any of you, but
no one
is putting a damn wig on me.”

Knox and Sully burst out laughing. “No offense, but I’d pay to see you in one.” Sully laughed.

Zeus flipped him off and sat back. “So when do you plan on implementing your harebrained scheme?”

“Tonight.” Knox sobered and sat forward. “I want the threat to Trevor gone.”

“Seems you changed your mind awfully quick about having a vampire as a mate.”

Knox shrugged. “I found him. That’s all that matters. Keeping Sammy and Trevor safe is my first priority.”

“Spoken like a true man.” Zeus hated the fact that these men were so twisted in the brain but was glad Knox finally came to terms with his vampire. It didn’t bother Zeus. As a matter of fact, he liked the diversity. “I’m sending Torem and Eagle to keep watch, just in case shit hits the fan.”

“Thanks,” they said in unison.

Knox jogged up the steps, finding his two sleepy heads still under the blanket. “Are you two going to sleep in all evening?”

Sammy tossed the cover from his head and yawned. “What time is it?”

“Seven.”

“Holy crap, I’ve never slept the day away before.” He wiggled out of Trevor’s arms and ran to the bathroom. Knox watched his naked ass as it shot by.

“God love streaking men.” He grinned. Knox sat on the bed, making it dip in and Trevor’s body roll slightly toward him. “You gonna wake up?”

“Five more minutes, Mom,” he mumbled.

Knox stretched out next to Trevor, running his hands through his mate’s hair. “I have to step out for a while tonight. Can you keep yourself and Sammy occupied while I’m gone?”

An evil grin spread across Trevor’s face. “I’m sure I can think of wicked things to do to his body.”

Knox rolled his eyes. “And after the five seconds of sex, then what are you going to do?”

Trevor reached out and punched him in his arm. “I’ll have you know I can last longer than five seconds. I’ve lasted ten many times.” He laughed and pulled the blanket back over his head.

“I can vouch for that.” Sammy came running out of the bathroom and dive-bombed onto the bed, Knox catching him. “Can you now?” Knox reached his hand down and ran it down the crease of Sammy’s ass, feeling the still-swollen hole and the slick that surrounded it. “I see you’ve been busy while I’ve been away.”
